All That Glitters

From the top Cranberry, Gazette Grey, All that Glitters, Prepped for Glamour



So once again, I am using one of my neglected eyeshadows. I believe that I bought All that Glitters at the same time that I bought Amber Lights. However, I think that I have used All that Glitters a little bit more.

When I bought Coral Crepe paintpot a few months back All that Glitters was used a little more. This eyeshadow looks great over Coral Crepe, if you don't have it definitely see if your MAC store/counter still has it available.

I used UDPP, MAC Coral Crepe p/p, All that Glitters on the lid, Cranberry in the crease and Prepped for Glamour in the outer v. I also placed All that Glitters on my lower lash line. I noticed, of course, after cropping my pictures that my blending sucks, I have to work on that. I posted them anyway, no one is perfect.

Do you have All that Glitters, if so leave a comment and let me know what colors you pair it with. Until next time...

Vanilla Firecracker EOTD

Hey all, I'm back with another eotd of the day using products that rarely get any love. I used Amber Lights again, because as I stated before, I almost never use it. It's a really pretty color especially when paired with colors like Coppering.

This time around I used MAC's Vanilla pigment which is permanent and very versatile. You can use it as a cheek highlight or as a brow highlight. I also used Firecracker eyeshadow from the To The Beach collection. This look is very simple and not too bright, which is right up my alley.

I used UDPP(as usual) Vanilla pigment in the inner corner, Amber Lights in the middle and Firecracker in the outer corner. I also used a brown eyeshadow in the crease, but I can't remember the name of it. On my lashes I have Diorshow Extase in black. I received a sample of this when I placed an order with Sephora. I love it, it makes my lashes extra long. I have heard only good things about Christian Dior mascaras, but this is my first time trying one.

I keep forgetting to put my earrings on when I take pictures. I feel like my face looks naked without them. I always put my jewelry on last and the funny thing is that I don't realize until I upload the pictures to my computer that I don't have them on. So let me know what you think about this combination. Do you own vanilla pigment or Firecracker eyeshadow, if so what colors do you pair them with? Until next time...

Rite Aid Shopping

Last week, I went to Rite Aid to pick up some Wet n Wild items which were bogo free. Since I already owned the Lust, Greed and Vanity palettes, I figured I might as well have the Pride palette as well, lol. So I picked that up along with three of the Craze nailpolishes.

The nailpolishes are colors for Fall in my opinion. I picked up Goldmine, Shield and Rustic, I haven't used them yet so I can't really comment on them. However, I did use them on the little one with no topcoat and it lasted for about three days.

I must say that the Pride palette did not disappoint me like the Greed palette did. The shadows in this palette have great color payoff. Perhaps I should have bought this one to begin with.

Pride palette matte side, shimmer side.

So that's all for right now. Let me know if you own any of the Wet n Wild Craze nailpolishes, I would love to hear what you think about them. Until next time...

Amber Lights EOTD

I decided to break out some of my eyeshadows that I rarely use and I must add that there are plenty of them. I heard so many good things about Amber Lights so last year I picked it up during MAC's friends and family sale and I think I only used it once if at all.

On Specktra.net there is a forum called "Shop your stash" and the lovely ladies over there post color combinations, so this came from over there. Amber lights and Coppering complement each other very well and Coppering is also another eyeshadow that I rarely touch.

I used UDPP, NYX jumbo pencil in milk, amber lights, coppering and NYX purple eyeshadow in that order. I didn't realize that the my eyeshadow matched my shirt until after I took the pictures, lol. I had on another shirt, but I decided to change.

Do you have Amber lights or Coppering eyeshadows, how do you pair them with other colors? Leave a comment and let me know. Until next time...

Elf Shopping

A few weeks ago I purchased some things online from eyelipsface better known as elf. There was a coupon code for half off, so that helped off set the cost of shipping for me. You can usually find coupon codes on retailmenot dot com. I go to this site when I'm shopping online for free shipping codes and other discount codes. It is a very helpful site and I love it.

I really wanted to pick up another one of the brush holders. I loves this things as I store my eyeliners, lipliners and nyx jumbo pencils in these as well as my brushes. I also wanted to try out the individual eyelashes. I don't know how to apply them, so I'm not too worried about the dollar investment.

The charcoal creme liner was pretty and I don't own anything like it, so I picked that up. I read some good things about them and I'm eager to try it out for myself. I wasn't aware that they sold blushes in the compact, so I picked up one of those as well. I have never seen these in my Target store. I'm pretty happy with everything that I purchased and you can't beat the prices either.

Until next time...

N.Y.C. Union Square Palette Review

So a few weeks ago I was watching a video on youtube and came across the N.Y.C. Individual Eyes custom compact for brown eyes also known as Union Square. You get four eyeshadows, a primer and a illuminator for only $4.99, good right?

I have to say that whoever thought of this came up with a wonderful idea. You have your eyeshadows and primer in one convenient case. It doesn't get any better than that. This is the perfect palette for traveling or for throwing in your purse just in case you need to retouch. The price is great as well.

I do have to say though, I was slightly disappointed with how the colors showed on my skin tone. The third color is pretty much the color of my skin and the second color is just a tad bit darker than the primer, so it shows up on me kind of ashy. I didn't use anything other than what was in the palette, but I'm guessing if I use a colored base I can alter the color a bit. I love the purple color, I kind of reminds me of MAC's Sketch. I will check to see how similar they are.

There are two other palettes, one for green eyes and another for blue, if I am not mistaken. One has purples and the other has greens. I passed on these because I think I have enough of both colors. I put my eyeshadow on at about seven in the morning and it lasted until six in the evening without any creasing. I'm sure it would have lasted longer, but I went to sleep with it on.

Do you own any of the N.Y.C. Individual eyes custom compacts? If so, what do you think of them? Until next time...

Barbie Loves Stila

About a month ago, I purchased two of the Barbie Loves Stila sets from the Sephora inside JcPenney for only $7.49. I couldn't pass that up it was just too good of a deal. I can't really say that this is an eye of the day, because I only did one eye.

Let me first start off by saying that I detest how I look with blue eyeshadow. I am afraid of blue on my eyes. I don't know what it is, it looks nice on others, but I don't feel that I can wear blue eyeshadow. I buy it and then I end up just looking at it.

This particular blue that comes in Barbie Loves Stila 1959 Ponytail Doll is a dark blue with silver shimmer. It also comes with a matte black and peach/goldish color blush.

I actually love this shadow, it doesn't make me look weird, which is how I feel about most blue eyeshadows. I used the black in the crease, but I didn't do a good job blending as you can see. I recently picked up MAC's Blue Flame from the CCO, I wonder if it looks anything like this shadow, I have yet to try it out.

I also used NYC liquid liner to line my upper lash line, I think I like it better than the L'Oreal HIP Creme liner. Do you own the Barbie Loves Stila 1959 Ponytail Doll set? If so how do you like it? Until next time...
